The more radical Hochgeschwindigkeit II (Me 262 HG II) proposal was to feature a new 35° swept wing with engines moved closer to the fuselage and a V-tail, though this was changed back to a conventional tail after wind tunnel tests showed that the V-tail was unstable.

Its retracting conventional tail wheel gear (similar to other contemporary piston-powered propeller aircraft), a feature shared with the first four Me 262 V-series airframes, caused its jet exhaust to deflect off the runway, with the wing's turbulence negating the effects of the elevators, and the first takeoff attempt was cut short.

2014年9月25日 · HG II was designed to have a low profile canopy, 35° swept wings and a "V" tail. HG III was to have 45° swept wings, embedded engines in the wing-root and a more conventional tail assembly (although a "V" tail was also included in the designs). Depends on how long the war goes on, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years? More?

The HG II would be fitted with two tail options: the standard Me 262 tail and the V-tail, or “butterfly “tail.

2009年12月2日 · The aircraft was originally designed as a tail-dragger which it was built as in the first (Me 262 V1) through fourth (-V4) prototypes, but it was discovered on an early test run that the engines and wings "blanked" the stabilizers, giving almost no control on the ground.

In mid-1943, Adolf Hitler envisioned the Me 262 as a ground-attack/bomber aircraft rather than a defensive interceptor. The configuration of a high-speed, light-payload Schnellbomber ("fast bomber") was intended to penetrate enemy airspace during the expected Allied invasion of …

2012年5月6日 · During the development of Me-262HG III several tail assembly and engine options were tried. As a basic decision it was planned to use the same tail assembly from Me-262, also the designers considered V-shaped tail assembly and even a truly exotic layout option with cabin being in rear (fin).

The document provides details on the construction of the Messerschmitt Me 262, including its fuselage, wings, tail assembly, undercarriage, engines, accommodation, dimensions, performance specifications, and armament.

This Me 262 had extended fillets between the engines and the nose, swept back tailplanes and a low profile canopy (inc in set). Makes an interesting looking 262 without major conversion work. Me 262 HG II

One of the most prominent jets of the conflict was the "Messerschmitt Me 262", a twin-jet fighter of advanced design. The Me 262 was recognized after the war as generally superior to anything the Allies had, and helped point the way to postwar aircraft development. This document provides a history and description of the Me 262.
